Today is a good day - I have officially landed in "Twosville!" The 299.5 on my scale this morning might seem like it's not a big deal to some, but considering that a month and a half ago, I was weighing in at 333, I'm very happy. My next goal will be 280 and I think I will continue to set "mini goals" like this all along the way - it's just too depressing to look at the overall picture sometimes! As they say, "A journey of 1,000 miles begins with one step." Guess I've taken a step or two and I'm glad for it.

Another thing that's going on with me is wondering if/when I will need a fill. I'm almost 5 weeks out from surgery and I feel a totally decent amount of restriction still. I cannot eat very much at one time, and even better than that, I just don't feel hungry like I used to. I wonder if I could still have some internal swelling causing this restriction or if I just got lucky that the band itself is going to give a good amount of restriction for me. Does that ever happen I wonder?

At any rate, so far so good, and I officially feel like I'm on my way.
